Once Lyrics by Laura Marling
In the land I now know to be mine,
There the heart’s so dark it’s near blind.
When I think about the life I’ve left behind,
I still raise no praise to the sky.
With my eyes on the prize of your bed,
When all that’s needed saying has been said.
When I think about the life that I have lead,
I laid down to the sound of the the wise
Once, once is enough to break you,
Once, once is enough to make you think twice,
About laying your love out on the line.
Laid with all I now know to be true,
And all I’ve figured out about you.
All the crazy things a mind can do,
I laid down to the sound of the truth.
And it’s not you.
Once, once is enough to break you,
Once, once is enough to make you think twice,
About laying your love out on the line.
Oh, I was a child once
Oh, oh, I was happy young.
When all I didn’t know needed doing, had been done.
Once, once is enough to break you,
Once, once is enough to make you think twice,
About laying your love out on the line.
